The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at AYWS Wasu Airport. The Kodiak 100 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 298 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 72 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from AYWS Wasu Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 553 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 12,879 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,326 feet in just 7 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles northwest of AYSW Satwag Airport. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northwest of LNC Lengbati Airport. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 12,858 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 5,567 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,291 feet in just 4 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25 at LNC Lengbati Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 257.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. However, the aircraft was required to execute a go-around at 0 feet above ground level. This maneuver was repeated, and the aircraft subsequently landed on runway 25.

The landing was characterized by a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 54 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 5 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 54 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at 378 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 263 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 2 knots and no crosswind.

The total landing distance was 184 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 51 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25 at LNC Lengbati Airport in the Kodiak 100

Landing Score 85.26 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at Lengbati Airport (LNC) on runway 25. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 257.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of -136 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 54 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed.

The touchdown distance of 5 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 54 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect 378 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft to a stop, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or injury to the occupants.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 263°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The runway length at Lengbati Airport is 445 meters, which is a relatively short runway. However, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within 184 meters of the runway threshold, which is only 41% of the runway length. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.

Despite the successful landing, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 9.2 meters off-centerline. This is a relatively minor issue, and it is likely that the pilot was able to correct the alignment quickly and smoothly. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
